What's your experience with work coaches?

The work coaches specifically in Govan Job Centre are horrible, they bring you down to within an inch of yourself looking down on you and your circumstances with zero compassion or thought to why you may have a mental health issue. They speak to you as if you are a piece of gum on their shoes, they show no empathy towards anyone and seem to not want to actually do their job: they do not help in any way, actually they hinder you because they leave you feeling worse than when you first walked in.
